At the risk of being a heretic, I am finding all the subdivisions of various combat types, while extremely useful for military games, perhaps a bit too esoteric for my uses, simple heortling that I am. For what its worth, the Heortlings fit more into the skirmisher, medium infantry and "screaming mobs of spear-wielding tribesmen" category.

I'm up for a game of Zulu Dawn.
